Psalm 102:12-22
But You, O LORD, are enthroned forever; You are remembered throughout all generations. You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come. For Your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust. Nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory. For the LORD builds up Zion; He appears in His glory; He regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD: that He looked down from His holy height; from heaven the LORD looked at the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem His praise, when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.
But You are faithful to forgive and heal; You do not forget Your promises; You will carry your Church through the fires of trials and afflictions; You will bring us to full maturity as Your Body, fit for the Kingdom and as Your ambassadors of reconciliation. You will do this so that Your name will be glorified throughout all the creation. You are Lord.
